Customer ratings for AKG K-72

The AKG K-52 was chosen as a replacement for an old Sennheiser, whose numerous cable breaks that could no longer be repaired heralded the end. I had no previous experience with AKG products, but AKG has a good reputation as a manufacturer of high-quality microphones and headphones. The search was on for a not too expensive pair of headphones with a closed, circumaural design that would reproduce a wide frequency range without overemphasizing the bass. With their visually appealing appearance, the "little one" from the K line fits this requirement profile perfectly. According to AKG, it was actually developed for recording, mixing in the studio or for the rehearsal room, but the qualities of the K-52 are also evident on the home stereo system and, surprisingly, on the smartphone. Music is reproduced in detail and cleanly - sometimes too cleanly with MP3 from the smartphone, here you can hear the quality losses of compression better than with the old Sennheiser. On the other hand, it gets an astonishing amount out of the device, even at lower volumes - without disturbing the person sitting next to it. The closed design effectively absorbs noise emissions. The low weight, the self-adjusting headband and the airy ear pads ensure comfortable wearing, even for those who wear glasses. Conclusion: Exactly what we were looking for at a very fair price of 35,- EUR.
